Apartment Life hates me

[strangetomato]

So I was presented with the Apartment Life EP to cheer me up in my gloomy sickly state, and I decided to just jump in and install it (a sure sign of how much I just don't give a fuck right now), but it's not working for me. The game crashes during the loading screen, right around where it says "preparing pops and locks" or some such thing. I tried two different no-cd cracks, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it again, and nothing changes. Why must I fail so badly?

If you have any idea what I'm doing wrong, please point out my stupidity. Maybe my brain is just too cloudy for this right now. I did remove the hacks, though. I got that much right.

*sigh*

Did it work?

[(Anonymous)]

Hey - I'm not sure if you'll ever read this (does it notify you when someone posts on an old entry?), but in case you do, did you ever solve your AL problem? Mine is doing the exact same thing, after a month or so of working sometimes. When I first installed it, I'd generally have to try to load it about three times before it would work, but now I've tried it probably 25 times with no luck. I removed the downloads folder, no luck, so I'm off to try the thing with the cache... I really don't want to uninstall, since I got a few of my EPs from the Sims Online Store and am not sure if I'll be allowed to redownload. Thanks so much for any help you can offer!

I think I uninstalled just AL and reinstalled it and it eventually worked. I had to try it a couple of times. Other than that, I don't have much advice.

Good luck!
